The archipelago ferry

Bording the ferry

[dot_recommends]

On Sunday, in a desperate attempt to breath air not thickened with birch pollen, I took myself off on a round trip by ferry in the southern archipelago. The ferry was Ylva, a double decked ferry with a cafeteria on the upper deck, and we cruised around to Asperö, Brännö, Köpstad, Källö, Vargö and Styrsö. All for the price of one local transport ticket. It’s a good deal if you are in town. The trip to and from Saltholmen takes about 90 minutes.
